            thanks dude

            they do sit a little low compared to JCR or Zach's (Lycaon's) Rough Country sliders, but they're no lower than the bottom of the unibody rail so I didn't lose a lot of clearance. I thought they'd stick out further than they did, so I was pleasantly surprised by that.

                  finished putting the d35 Aussie I picked up from Josh (not jeepin) into my D30. Carrier needed minor clearancing, but nothing significant. Works beautifully.

                      Yeah he's a cool dude. Got my spare AW4 and bored TB from him too.

                      Just put on a set of 10" travel hydro shocks on the front, stopped at a sports store on my way home from Caleb's and put hockey pucks on the coil buckets. Finally have the front flex I want until I get some upper arms. Pic from my shakedown run to come once I load it.

                            Been a little bit... bunch of new dents/scratches, Pasta Fabwerks uppers, got really bored and smoked the signals/taillights.

                            Also started polishing up the Turd Bumper a bit, after the boogers holding the bar on un-boogered.

                            My buddy Danny grinding the boogers off...


                            Going over the welds with a Millermatic 211, gas included... difference in bead quality is fawking ridiculous.



                            Stripped about 40 horsepower off the bumper, sanded then primered...


                            Finished product...

                              Did you buy those towhooks with brackets or did you Fab something up? I need towpoints. My last jeep at least had a hitch on it with a d ring insert but I don't have one on this xj

                                I bought them, I'll see if I can find the receipt to tell you what brand.
